Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

In order to give people a place to get away from the traffic jam of the buffet and information tables, most of the chairs and tables had been set up further out on the lawn, away from the school building. The bonfires were going strong, and there was plenty of room for everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves. Assuming they weren't too busy still trying to figure this place out.

[OCD is up! This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here and there's more room for mingling here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Somehow," she said, with a sigh. "I think I'll have more to say than you will."

And her chicobo cheeped supportively.

"Well, I've gotten the impatience out. I can listen."

It was sort of like a supportive cheep.

Which was equally adorable from the both of them.

"You first?"

Which came out a little more plaintive than she might have liked.

That... was fair. Given how Ino looked she might well need time to work up to it.

So Triela nodded.

"My Conditioning is failing," she said softly. "No one's sure, but it's likely that I'll be permanently hospitalized within six months."

Ino blinked. Oh.

So she was... basically losing another friend. Right there.

"That's..." What could she say? "I'm sorry."

Triela shook her head. "Actually, I've already set a record for survivability. I'm enough of an outlier that they could be wrong, you know."

They probably weren't, but it was at least a possibility.

"I hope they are," she said, frowning a bit. "Is there anything I can do?"

"Well... there is something." Triela paused and shook her head. "I'll explain it later, though."

She didn't want to get too side-tracked from figuring out what was up with Ino, after all. Triela didn't have too much time left, she'd rather spend it on helping her friends than having them worry about her.

And Ino would rather do the other way around, funny that.

She nodded slowly. "Alright," Ino said, "I'll expect you to tell me then."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2011-01-02 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Triela nodded. "I will." After all, she was actually on a schedule with this one.
intraspective: (sitting (view from above))

Ino rubbed at her face and sighed.

"My turn, huh?"

Yes, Ino.

Triela just sat silently, waiting. Ino could take her time that way.

No pressure!
intraspective: (stare)

[personal profile] intraspective 2011-01-02 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Plenty of pressure!

Ino petted her chicobo, which trilled happily and settled down in her lap. "It started, I suppose, before the break," she said, keeping her head down. "And just got worse from there."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2011-01-02 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Triela stayed silent. She suspected that Ino was still working up to telling her... whatever. No need to interrupt or rush her.

Right?
intraspective: (crossed arms)

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[personal profile] intraspective 2011-01-02 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Ino kept her gaze focused on her... pet, she supposed... as she thought of what to say.

"Due to events prior to the break," Ino settled on finally, "I went to Konoha for a--vacation. Zack came with me."

She chewed her lip.

"Konoha was--attacked." Flat flat flat. "It doesn't exist anymore."

And that was just the start of her crappy holiday.

"Oh."

That sucked. Not that Triela knew what else to say...
intraspective: (over shoulder look)

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[personal profile] intraspective 2011-01-02 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," she said softly. More to the chicobo than--anyone else.

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2011-01-02 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"You didn't tell me before." That wasn't an accusation, just an observation.

Though... Triela wished Ino had mentioned it.

"I ain't really had a chance to tell no one," she said, with a sigh. "Zack knows, and Reno knows."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2011-01-02 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fair enough." Triela suspect it was more that Ino hadn't wanted to tell anyone, but... that was fine, really.

She eyed Ino thoughtfully. "You said that was the beginning?" If things got worse from there... yeah. This didn't sound fun.
intraspective: (gazing down thoughtfully)

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[personal profile] intraspective 2011-01-02 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
She bobbed her head.

"The beginning."

Ino paused, not sure where to go from there, truly.

"How long did you have before whatever happened next?" A timeline might be a useful place to start.
intraspective: (gazing down thoughtfully)

"It's--complicated?" she said, a bit pathetically. "As time was weird on my planet."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2011-01-02 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah. Those always make things tricky."

Triela waited for a moment. "What happened next?" Somehow she suspected she wasn't going to like hearing it.
intraspective: (civilian)

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2011]

[personal profile] intraspective 2011-01-02 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"We--helped, a little, until we... couldn't take it," and that still hurt, that she'd been willing to leave, "and then we went to Reno's Gaia."

Ino closed her eyes.

"My village had been blown up," she said quietly. "Picture a world where every village we saw was that bad off."
